"We are all human. That means there is something about our experience that is the same. Otherwise, we would not all be human."

"Do you not hide unwanted things in the fog."

"Create habitable chaos out of order."

"But proper discipline organizes rather than destroys."

"Humility: It is better to presume ignorance and invite learning than to assume sufficient knowledge and risk the consequent blindness."

"And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of."

"What is the moral of the story? Make yourself colorful, stand out, and the lions will take you down. And the lions are always there."

"Perhaps you are overvaluing what you don't have and undervaluing what you do."

"What you aim at determines what you see."

"I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil."

"If you fulfill your obligations everyday you don't need to worry about the future."

"There is no evidence that the importance of friendship declines in any manner with age."

"Imagine who you could be and then aim single mindedly at that."

"That which you most need to find will be found where you least wish to look."

"Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated."

"If old memories still upset you, write them down carefully and completely."

Beyond Order By Jordan B. Peterson

"When you are tightly boxed in or cornered -all too often by your own stubborn and fixed adherence to some unconsciously worshipped assumptions-all there is to help you is what you have not yet learned."

"When you have something to say, silence is a lie."

"The purpose of life, as far as I can tell... Is to find a mode of being that's so meaningful that the fact that life is suffering is no longer relevant."

"It is much better to make friends with what you do not know than with what you do know, as there is an infinite supply of the former but a finite stock of the latter."

"Be grateful in spite of your suffering."

"If you are not willing to be a fool, you can't become a master."

"If you don't say what you think then you kill your unborn self."

"To suffer terribly and to know yourself as the cause: that is Hell."

"We are all human. That means there is something about our experience that is the same. Otherwise, we would not all be human."

"It may well be, therefore, that the true meaning of life is not to be found in what is objective, but in what is subjective (but still universal)."

"I will trust you-I will extend my hand to you-despite the risk of betrayal, because it is possible, through trust, to bring out the best in you, and perhaps in me."

"We outsource the problem of sanity. People remain mentally healthy not merely because of the integrity of their own minds, but because they are constantly being reminded how to think, act, and speak by those around them."

"You should be careful, therefore, to live your life fully, and marriage and children and grandchildren, and all the trouble and heartbreak that accompanies all of that, is much of what life has to offer. Miss it at your great peril."

The companion volume to 12 Rules for Life offers further guidance on the perilous path of modern life. In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes. In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life—from our social structures to our emotional states—Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What’s more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even—and especially—when we find ourselves powerless. While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.
